It was a good day! I just opened the windows...the air is cooling, our hot spell has passed, and now we can get down to enjoying a great late fall and winter in Florida.

Bon Appetit arrived this week as it has for the last 30+ years. We have always promised ourselves that we would prepare at least 2-3 recipes out of each issue. Usually, this has worked out just fine. Tonight's meal was "Spice-Crusted Salmon with Ginger-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce."

It was very good, especially the sauce, but the fennel and coriander seeds crusted on the salmon were not that well received. We both decided that dill would have been a better choice. The salmon was beautifully grilled, instead of pan cooked, and the roasted asparagus always are a hit.

My gardener isn't crazy about ginger and he has the anti-cilantro gene, so I don't use either one in cooking. The nice thing about salmon is you can just about use the spices you love and it'll all turn out good :)

Susan, this sounds really good! I like fennel but don't know about the coriander, fennel combo. So I'd go for dill probably also. I love salmon though. You're so right --- the air is cooling! It was in the 20's here last night, no open windows here!

We love salmon in our house and have fixed it every which a way. Bon Appetit's spice crusted with the ginger cilantro sauce sounds fantastic. I'll give it a try.

I dropped my subscription to Bon Appetit along with several other magazines this year. Living in two places and going back and forth, magazines don't get forwarded for very long and I lose a lot of issues. Frustrating but true.
